Abstract
Westernization is not something new. Since colonization and in today’s global era, westernization has become endemic of the whole political, social, economic and psychological process. Indian culture has been embracing aspects of foreign cultures over the years Adoption of western culture in every domain viz industry, technology, politics, economics, lifestyle, law, norms, mores, customs, and traditions has given rise to term known as westernization. Westernization has greatly affected our traditions, customs, family and also our respect and love for others. The concept of joint families is quickly decreasing and everyone wants to remain aloof from others. Nobody bothers about the society and only cares about himself, which is contradictory to elements of Indian culture which teaches us to be a part of each other’s happiness and sorrows; to celebrate the joyous moments and share the grief together. Slowly, the value of Indian culture for which we Indians take pride in is vanishing. Western culture is replacing these Indian values. People blindly follow western culture without realizing its consequences.
